Snow

I woke up this morning to get ready for class. The first thing I notices as I check my email is that a wonderful woman; Dr. Jeanine Varner has sent me a message. I read the email expecting to see something about OC’s upcoming events. Instead I see those beautiful words “Canceled Classes”. And my heart stops. I fall to the ground and on my knees I put my face into my hands and begin to cry. I look up to the heavens thanking God for the day of freedom he has given me.

The email read: “Because of sleet, rain, and heavy snow expected throughout the day, we have made the decision to cancel classes today. The cafeteria will be open. We are urging everyone to stay home and stay indoors (and study!). Please be safe.

I have such great love for weather that comes to save all students from the horror that is class.

I go through the day doing a whole lot of nothing and later that night I check my email only to see another email that reads:

“It’s a tough call . . . but we have decided that there will be no classes or chapel on Friday. The cafeteria will be open, however, and the library will be open from 10:00 to 5:00.

Please be very careful if you do get out on campus or off campus.

I slowly wake up, and realize that I am lying on my back in the middle of my room. My roommate is standing over me and asking me if I am ok. I rise to my feet and tell him I am ok. I looked at my computer screen and saw the email that had knocked me off my feet. I sat down in my chair and looked up to the ceiling and then suddenly peaceful.

Well Here It Is Again

I often stay awake until the early hours of the morning. As I sit there watching TV I always think about how I am doing and what God thinks about my life. I really don’t ever know how to answer those questions. I pray that in the long run I will be alright, but it is very hard at sometimes to see that.

I am turning 20 in less than 12 hours, and I am not ready. I hate the fact that I am getting older by the day. I started feeling this way when I turned 12 and have always felt the same since. My birthdays always depress me. On top of that, it’s enough that I am depressed most of the time anyway, now I have that to deal with. Isn’t life great?

And So It Begins!

Putting your thoughts down on paper is always a good idea. So when the thought came to me to put them on the Internet. I jumped right in.

I really have to think Jason for getting me to start blogging. I have always wanted to have a blog but never followed through with it. Reading all the great things that get posted over at Finding Sense In It All, helped motivate me to start and let the world know my thoughts.

I hope you find the content in this blog insightful, helpful, and maybe it will answer some questions you have about the randomness that our world gives us everyday.
